I'd switch them around: have a smaller primary drive (the 970 Evo or faster) for the operating system, and a slower but bigger secondary drive (the Intel 670p) for files/games. That's the optimal setup in terms of performance and cost.

Why is that? Just wondering so I get a better understanding. Thanks for the help too, I appreciate it mate 😊 plus it would cost the same right? It’s the same ssds?

The biggest benefit you get from a fast SSD is by making it your boot device. This affects system startup, as well as general snappiness and speed loading progams, etc. A slower SSD is fine for general files and games because, while speed is useful, it's not as critical, so you can get more space for your money.

And no, it is different SSDs and different prices:

500GB 970 Evo + 1TB Intel 670p = £191
512GB Intel 670p + 1TB 970 Evo = £222

The best solution is an even faster primary SSD (known as "gen 4"):

500GB Firecuda 530 + 1TB Intel 670p = £232

this is my build now, would you say that’s okay? How about different sound card? Case etc

I get a message saying about I have too much power from my supply but that’s good if I want to upgrade in future right? Or should I downgrade.

im still debating between amd 6600 or Nvidia 3060. looking at reviews their very similar.

Looks awesome. The case is fine, and a separate sound card isn't necessary. If you want better sound, get an external interface/DAC rather than a PCIe one: they tend to be a tiny improvement (if that) over the on-board sound on the motherboard.

Puget Systems recommend NVidia over AMD for After Effects and Premier Pro, saying that there is a significant performance difference. I would go for the 3060 over the 6600.
